The 2013 season will kick off with the 51st Rolex 24 At Daytona on January 26 as the Ohio-based team looks to defend its 2012 Rolex title with a repeat victory in the twice around the clock event.

2013 marks the fourth consecutive season for the Negri-Pew driver combination in the No. 60 Ford with the duo having seen much success over the past three years. The two have scored seven podiums and 14 top-five finishes together – highlighted by the outstanding 2012 Rolex 24 victory when the pair was joined by NASCAR pilot AJ Allmendinger and IndyCar star Justin Wilson.

“Why mess with a good thing?” smiled team owner Mike Shank. “This is a great pairing, and I don’t think that there are two guys out there that work harder than Ozz and John. Obviously starting the year the way we did was huge, but I think the pace we had with the 60 car sometimes got overlooked after some back racing luck so we didn’t factor into the championship the way we had been hoping. This has been an incredibly busy off season and I’m personally very excited about Daytona and of course about what is next in the future of this sport.”
